He has previously pleaded guilty in Jackson County to statutory sodomy and possession of child pornography in incidents police said were unrelated.

He has been ordered to serve 20 years in the previous case and a judge ordered the sentences served consecutively.

Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd said Morgan has a history of molesting children.

"His crimes against children end today," he said.

According to court documents, Morgan was friends with the victim's father and admitted to him that he had been inappropriate with the girl. The girl told her family that Morgan had exposed himself to her once and had tried to get her to touch him several times.

Police said when they questioned Morgan, he confessed to sexually abusing a 5-year-old girl. They said they also found child pornography on his computer.

"This defendant betrayed the trust of his friend of forty years to gain access to this victim," Zahnd said.
